Because rightsholders have discretion about who they take action against. In this case, Nintendo doesn't want violence and Pokémon together, so it gets taken down. Minecraft is nonviolent (at least no more than Pokémon itself) so it gets a pass.
They would also take something down for being for-profit or competes with their own products (e.g AM2R being taken down right before Samus Returns came out).
Nobody tell Nintendo about the Gardevoir mod for Kobold Kare. If they don't want them associated with violence, they probably really don't want them associated with being an egg shitting cum balloon
